starquestJOE Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 you and me both. im working on the fuel pump problem now. i was goin to replace the pump i had,( bosch996 ) from a 79 volvo with a 255. But i already had a paxton kamkize pump, so thats whats goin in now. it mounted in the same spot as stock. im running 8an from the tank to the rail as well. they say the pump is good for 750 plus so its more then enough for what im shootin for. i hope to be test driving it this weekend............Let keep the fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Pics of the Montero alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquestJOE Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm working on a dyno day with mike. Soon enough I'll get it on dyno. Dale I didn't take a pic of the alt's side by side. But it's 100% bolt in, only have to change the pulley. The only difference between them is the montero has upper mounting holes, that's it. Just use the one that lines up. The lower mount and plug are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have to heli coil that and change out my sway bar bushings. I don't know how they are bad, they don't have 3000 miles on them. Also picked up more oil filters and 10 7031 ngk's.
